Every web developer or designer should have a portfolio section on their personal website so today I'm going to show you how you can build a simple list of websites and their clients that you've worked on using Tailwind CSS and Flowbite.
Here's a preview of the section that we'll build:
The example will be responsive on mobile devices and it also supports dark mode with Tailwind CSS:
Before we get started, let me introduce you to the technologies that you will require to code this example:
Tailwind CSS is a popular and utility-first CSS framework that you can use to quickly build user interfaces directly from your HTML using the utility classes.
Flowbite is the most popular and open-source UI component library built on top of the Tailwind CSS framework featuring interactive components such as navbars, dropdowns, modals, and more.
Without further ado - let's get started!
Tailwind CSS Portfolio
The first step that we need to do is create a basic <section> tag and set up a wrapper div element that we will use to set the maximum width of the container:
<section>
<div>
<!-- our content will go here -->
<div>
</section>
Next, we need to add background classes and to correctly position the content inside the wrapper div using the utility classes from Tailwind CSS:
<section class="bg-white dark:bg-gray-900">
<div class="max-w-screen-xl px-4 py-8 mx-auto lg:px-6 sm:py-16 lg:py-24">
<!-- our content will go here -->
<div>
</section>
Awesome! Now let's add a title and description for the section that we can use to let our users knows it's a list of websites that you've worked on previously:
<div class="max-w-screen-xl px-4 py-8 mx-auto lg:px-6 sm:py-16 lg:py-24">
<div class="max-w-2xl mx-auto text-center">
<h2 class="text-3xl font-extrabold leading-tight tracking-tight text-gray-900 sm:text-4xl dark:text-white">
Our work
</h2>
<p class="mt-4 text-base font-normal text-gray-500 sm:text-xl dark:text-gray-400">
Crafted with skill and care to help our clients grow their business!
</p>
</div>
Great job! Now let's create the actual block that we will use to introduce the name of the client, name of the project, a short description and a link to the main case study page:
<div class="grid grid-cols-1 mt-12 text-center sm:mt-16 gap-x-20 gap-y-12 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3">
<div class="space-y-4">

<h3 class="text-2xl font-bold leading-tight text-gray-900 dark:text-white">

Great stuff! Now all we need to do is add some more clients and put together these examples into a single block of code:
<section class="bg-white dark:bg-gray-900 antialiased">
<div class="max-w-screen-xl px-4 py-8 mx-auto lg:px-6 sm:py-16 lg:py-24">

Make sure that you set the primary color inside your tailwind.config.js file or use something else such as text-blue-600 instead of primary to make this work.
Here's the final result:
